One project on my list this spring is to replace the old heavy walled 1.5 inch black rubber head discharge hoses. I have two heads aboard and a lot of hose ! Can Peggy or someone please chime in on what is the recommended replacement? I see a lot of white "sanitation" hose in use. Will this cut it? or am I better off with a heavy Trident thick wall hose? Also, please indicate best source to buy the hose.

Any recommendations as to the best way to remove, and install the new hose would be appreciated as well. For example should the hose be heated to remove, and if so, should I use a hair dryer or a heat gun?

Thanks!
